"GCompris has become an important resource to speed up the child's learning "
"process in the context of developing countries like India, where the only "
"chance for a child of getting accustomed with computers is during school "
"time. At school, the computers are often shared and children have limited "
"time to access them individually. GCompris is easy to use and intuitive, so "
"it is particularly useful in this environment because there is practically "
"no time spent on getting to understand how the program works. With GCompris "
"children develop quickly the motor skills required to use a computer."

"also free to distribute copies of the modified version to teachers and "
